She is house guest of her Aunt and Uncle the Ron Hatches of Orem. One girl is daughter to my daughter, the other daughter to my son. They will sleep tonight in the room where their mother father were born. How many people you know can make that statement? Another thing to mark the day: I have a big. . . how does one spell that long, green squash. .. zuccini. . . that's near enough. Sound it out, Dearie. Anyhow, I have one, grown by my brother Truman. Now having a squash is not so much, but the grown by a man who HATES gardening? All the time he's out counting the tomato potential, harvesting squash or pulling carrots he's "Hating" gardening and saying so. The trouble is, he has a green thumb and as I see it, it serves him right. He has planted canatloupes, squash and cuccumbers all right there cheek by jowl, so to speak, What is this elegant squash going to taste like? Is the advice Not to plant cantalouDes, squash and cukes together just another 'Old Wives Tale? Or do we have improved type vegetables that keep themselves to themselves? I'll soon know. How does one prepare for two teen-aged grandmoppets? I already know that one doesn't particularly care for deserts so what did I get? Two frozen cream pies, one coconut, the other banana. I went by the pizzas twice, but left them lie. This was probably a mistake. On the other hand, doesn't everyone but me have a craving for pizza? Seems as though. So maybe they'd rather have something else. Once again, I'll soon know. And now it is the morning after the night before. Very early in the morning at that, and the girl cousins are sleeping sweetly in their great-great-great-great grandmother's bed. We were not alone at the arrival of the train last evening.

How ells See Pageant While On Vocation Clyde Howells and his wife, Alice, executive secretary to Orem City Mayor and City Manager's Mana-ger's Office, have just returned from a delightful tour of 11 states and into Canada. While on their vacation they took in such sights as the LD8 New York Pageant in Palmyra, New York, the Niagara Falls, and other LD3 Church historical spots. They went into Canada into the state park area to see the Niagara FaUs from the Canadian side. The scenery there was magnificent, they said. Flowers, shrubbery, and the falls are really beautiful. While in the states, they visited with their son, Chad, andhiswife and three children. InChampaign, Illinois. He is presently attending Penn State University working toward to-ward his PhD Degree in Human Development and Family Living. As the Howells traveled back toward home, they were impressed impres-sed with the magnitude of the Church's building and renovating program going on in historical sites. Many of the homes of early church leaders have been restored, re-stored, and a visitor's center has been built over the Carthage Jail. They were glad to get back home, but they really enjoyed their entire trip. 11 "Jh) P'l&r D'. uv -t'Wlflfrfa bftf I r.-f ft I r- V ' -O, THE MECHANICAL mole shown drilled through the 3.3 mile-long mile-long Layout Tunnel east of Strawberry Reservoir.

The mole came out directly on target. A specially build Laser-Lign instrument directed a red laser beam onto a target in front of the mole operator. This was repon-sible repon-sible for keeping the mole in a straight line. The 3.3 mile-long Layout Tunnel east of Strawberry Reservoir Reser-voir extends through the mountain moun-tain from Water Hollow Creek to Layout Creek. A 120-ton mechanical mech-anical monster drilled the 13-foot-diameter tunnel in record time. Drilling began in June 1971, but after about 4 months it was forced to stop due to exhaustion of funds. It was not until Feb. that the mole got back into full operations when supplemental money was made available. S.A. Healy of McCook, Illinois, drilled the tunnel under contract with the Bureau of Reclamation. Several drilling records were set at Layout Tunnel in the past few months. The first week in May . a total of 1,024 feet were drilled, on May 5 a record of 234 feet were excavated, and on May 11 one shift excavated 92 feet in eight hours. These are all records for drilling in Utah. The mole was kept busy 'round the clock by three shifts of 15 to 20 min. Bob Ames, Project Manager for the contractor, said that with the exception of three or four career men for Healy Company all the employees used at the tunnel are local men. Many, including the superintendent and the mole operators, have become very efficient in use of the complicated machinery and in tunnel work. The drilling work scheduled to take more than a year to complete was finished in about 9 months of actual work. A batch plant has been set up at the mouth of the tunnel where concrete will be mixed to line the tunnel. When completed, the line tunnel will have a diameter of 10 feet 4 inches and a capacity capa-city of 620 second-feet. Now that the mole has finished drilling Layout Tunnel, it will be moved on railroad rails across Layout Creek to begin chewing in Currant Tunnel. The 1.7-mile Currant Tunnel will extend to the potential Currant Creek Dam to be located onCurrantCreek, said Mr. DeLong. These features are part of the complicated Bonneville Bonne-ville Unite plan of bringing Colorado Colo-rado River water into the Wasatch Front where the need is rapildy becoming critical.
